Context
Chromebooks are the most-managed consumer device on earth. School districts, universities, and enterprises hand out millions per year, each with a management console that can lock down installs, extensions, and network config. Web proxies fit through the one gap those consoles usually cannot lock: the ability to visit arbitrary websites that are not on the URL block list.
